NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 12, 1909.

Application filed August 17, 1907. Serial No. 389,074.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIGMoND GARDNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Savannah, in the county of Chatham and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to nonrefillable bottles, and more particularly to that class having a valve in the neck thereof and a plug to prevent tampering with the said valve.

The object of the invention is to provide or construct a bottle which can not be refilled but may be easily and quickly emptied of its contents.

With this object in view, and such others as may hereinafter appear, the invention consists in the particular construction of a valve and a plug adapted to be used in combination with the valve and the neck of the bottle, the same to be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification: Figure 1, illustrates a vertical sectional view of a bottle with my improved plug and valve in place. Fig. 2, is a plan view of the valve detached. Fig. 8, is an edge view of the same, and Fig. 4, is a modification of the plug.

Referring by numerals to the drawings, 1 represents a bottle having formed in the neck thereof near the shoulder a valve seat 2, and in the upper end of the neck an enlarged portion 3 having an interior groove or channel 4, the object of which will hereinafter appear. Resting upon the valve seat 2 is my improved valve 5 consisting of a disk 6 having upwardly extending legs 7 forming between themselves a series of ports 8. These legs 7 support a disk 9 having a central aperture 10 and a series of slots or radial notches 11 in its periphery adapted to engage a series of guides 12 formed integral with a plug 13 which is provided in its wall with a spring catch 14.- adapted to engage the groove or channel 4. The plug 13 is provided in its periphery with longitudinal grooves or channels 15 which extend from the top to the bottom in the form of a compound curve 16 having obstructions 17 and 18 at the point where the channels diverge from each other, thus rendering it impossible to tamper with the valve.

It will be noted that the constructionof the valve is such that a bottle equipped with the same in combination with my improved plug can be readily emptied of its contents, and that upon attempting to fill the bottle by submersion or in any other manner, the valve will by means of the liquid passing through the port 10 and coming in contact with the disk 6, quickly force the valve upon its seat, the same being guided in position by the guides 12 upon the plug 13.

Having thus described the various features of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a non-refillable bottle in combination with a bottle neck having a valve seat, a plug having a longitudinal channel, means for securing the plug in the neck of the bottle, guides formed upon the lower end of the plug, a valve mounted between said guides, said valve consisting of a disk having upwardly extending legs supporting a plate having a central aperture, substantially as specified.

2. In a non-refillable bottle, the combination with a bottle neck having a valve seat therein, a plug having grooves in its wall, said plug being adapted to fit into said neck, means for securing the plug in position, said grooves extending from the top to the bottom of the plug in the form of a compound groove, guides formed integral with the lower end of the plug, a valve adapted to rest upon the valve seat, said valve consisting of a disk having upwardly extending legs supporting a plate, said plate having an aperture in its center and slots in its periphery, said slots adapted to engage the guides on the plug, substantially as specified.

SIGMOND GARDNER.
